Rum Artesanal 1998 Bellevue SFGB Guadeloupe Cask No.28 24yo is a unique gem from the Bellevue Distillery in Guadeloupe. Distilled in March 1998 on a Column Still, this exceptional rum is crafted from molasses, rather than the typical sugarcane juice used in Rhum Agricole. It was aged for seven years in a tropical climate before being transferred to Europe, where it continued to mature for a total of 24 years. In July 2022, Rum Artesanal bottled this exquisite spirit at Cask Strength, boasting an impressive 59.4% ABV, resulting in only 302 bottles. Upon nosing, this rum captivates with a festival of fresh citrus notes, including mandarin and grapefruit, interwoven with hints of cinnamon, anise, and herbal spices. The palate is an intricate dance of flavors, presenting a complex blend of berries, grapefruit, leather, tobacco, and subtle undertones of anise and tea. Despite its extended maturation, the rum remains remarkably balanced and not overly astringent, with the alcohol beautifully integrated. The finish is long-lasting and intense, wrapping up with delightful notes of roasted wood, smoky elements, and a lingering citrus zest. Rum Artesanal 1998 Bellevue SFGB Guadeloupe Cask No.28 24yo is priced at 92 Euros for a 500ml bottle. This exquisite rum offers an exceptional tasting experience, making it a standout in the lineup of Rum Artesanal's new releases, and a must-try for any rum aficionado.
